Yes, the one I got was sent straight to my address. I have filters

Oh check this out. I was proclaimed some sort of administrator:

[from the mail that I got ]

"You seem to know quite a bit about Unix and I was hoping I could
convince you to sign up as an expert in our Computers and Internet
category. Your administration of the group comp.security.unix tells
me you would be a excellent candidate for ExpertCentral"

I've neglected to read c.s.u for a couple of months. But gosh darn
it: I'm administrating the news group! :-)

It looks like they skimmed some FAQs and possibly made some
erroneous assumptions (i.e. I certainly don't administrate c.s.u by
any means).
